Occasionally-Cortex: watch her double down!

Newly elected Lefty Alexandria Occasionally-Cortex demonstrates the one trait that we have all come to associate with The Left: stupidity.

In a week that brought the unprecedented sight of the French Super Lefty government backing down off an Eco-friendly fuel tax because half the population of France were in the streets baying for their heads, Miss Occasionally-Cortex was all about the ecology and taxes:

"As a matter of fact, it's not just possible that we will create jobs and economic activity by transitioning to renewable energy, but it's inevitable that we are going to create jobs," Ocasio-Cortez said. "It's inevitable that we're going to create industry, and it's inevitable that we can use the transition to a hundred percent renewable energy as the vehicle to truly deliver and establish economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America."
 Ocasio-Cortez also suggested the federal government should nationalize Tesla's technology, following the company's receipt of tax subsidies.

This was a Bernie Saunders event by the way, just so you know what snake oil Bernie Bros are going to be peddling the next two years.

One would almost think she doesn't watch the news. A fully-fledged tax revolt in Europe, as the peons -finally- reach their limit for being pushed around, taxed and told-off by government assholes, and little Alexandria is proposing more of it.

But it is worse than that. She -does- watch the news. She knows there's widespread rioting in the intellectual birthplace of Marxism and Post Modernism, and she knows why. This is her response. She's doubling down. Same message, twice as hard.

Because why? Because that's what sells.

It isn't Alexandria Occasionally-Cortex who is stupid, my friends. She has identified a constituency, she has won them over, and she is throwing them red meat as fast as she can. She's probably above-average smart. She's certainly very high energy.

Its the people who voted for her, who want more and more and more taxes and regulations on every goddamn thing in the world. They see France going up in flames, and they say There Oughta Be A Law!!! They'll keep on saying the same fucking thing until there's literally bodies hanging from streetlamps in front of their house. There is no situation where they smarten up. They'll go to their graves like that.

You can seen the stupid fuckers doing it right now in Venezuela. There's no money, no food, no fuel and no cops, but they're out demonstrating for Maduro because he's promising More Free Stuff again.

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls: there is no free stuff. Never was, never will be. If somebody promises you free stuff in exchange for your vote, it is a -lie-. You have been warned.

The Warning Phantom

Margaret Thatcher was spot on ... "The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money."

OC is just betting it won't happen here until she's assumed room temperature after living the high life while the rest of us descend into abject poverty.

Exactly.
Misguided, batshit crazy, it doesn't matter.
They get to vote.

It amounts to child abuse sending a kid to college with the commies running the insane asylum that is college today.

What's her position on cake as a bread substitute?

I have to say that there really is a solution to this stupid. If we counted the money, the handouts, things would become clear. Societies live on the back of the worker and I think both sides agree on that.

What do you think the working class would do if it discovered that large percentages of the population could make substantially as much WITHOUT WORKING? I know things would change.

That's why the #1099-GOV is such an important tool. Working people get their W2, 1099-MISC. Wage slaves. They even have to tell the government what they got even if they aren't going to owe any taxes.

We Republicans http://amzn.to/2CMbqUh #1099-GOV is a free book to show how it would work.

Should NON-workers have to at least file for what they get?
